Geocache Description:

This is Cache # 7 in our 1700's Chester County Colonial Sites. FTF gets Colonial Currency! 

Those who worship or pray in St. Mary’s Chapel are often touched by the building’s historical character. The “King’s Highway” was originally laid out in 1690, as an east-west thoroughfare enabling people and goods to move from the Philadelphia area to Lancaster. In 1791 it became a toll road, known as “The Lancaster Turnpike.” Along this busy thoroughfare, James Bowen erected an elegant tavern known as “The Ship Inn”. Across the street from the Inn stood a fine, gray stone livery stable first built in 1793, where those lodging at the Ship Inn would house their horses. St. Mary's Chapel now stands where the stable used to be.
